Trust me, whenever I open up the Zend Framework manual there's a part of
me that wants to make my application interface with every component in
the sidebar haha. Hmm maybe I could make this interact with Twitter? Oh
I bet the users would love to see a Zend_ProgressBar while I generated a
Zend_Pdf of their profile (that there is absolutely no use for
whatsoever) ... oh wait maybe I can add a Zend_Amf component and make my
app into some kind of crazy Adobe Air thing? Ohhhh I know! I can find a
reason to use Zend_Service_Flickr! oh yeah that would be great!

Then I wake up. :)
